Little mini update. Nothing crazy but more of something I've always wanted to do. No one can get into the backseat unless I take the harness bar out anyway, and I don't really want someone back there either So I had my upholstery guy make a rear seat delete for the car. Now, let me first and foremost say that Pwerks/Matt Omiotek was the first to rock this thing and its made a bit differently. You can buy one from them on their website. Mine was made custom to what i wanted, and the guy is wanting to make more of them.

So here are the pictures. They ALL suck, because its harder than you think taking a picture of the back seat of your car with a cell phone lol. Enjoy!

Shitty instagram cropped pic to lighten it up so it could actually be seen.

The wrinkles in the bottom piece were steamed out already, this was just during development.



Crappy blurry pic:


Picture of how it fastens in the rear:



And super crappy pic of the lower portion:



here is a picture of the lower portion during development:




Thanks for looking. Hope you all enjoy!

 

I've been trying to think of something to do with the rear seats too.... I'm ficking tired of people saying "we can fit four in there!" When I go out.... No more rides for drunk friends!!!!

 

need roll cage

 

Do you think it's any lighter?

 

Ha ha , no roll cage for me. I like the harness bar. Yours looks mighty awesome though!


Pwerks' kit says 42lbs and the material I used is around the same weight. All the stuff I took out weighed about 50lbs though.

 

Thanks Ryan and yes i do like your delete. but i needed it for class rules

 

Been wanting to do this for a while... In for better pics lol

How much did this run ya ?

 

Oh absolutely! Thanks a lot bro!

The pics are as-is lol. its a pain in the ass to get good pictures of it really.

He said he would charge people 250 + shipping for black carpet, but for any other material it would be a price increase.

 

Looks good

 

Cant really see it but looks neat haha

 

Looks good Ryan. Wanted to do this in my car, just never wanted to spend the money for it haha.

 

Thanks bro! Yeah, the price for my buddy making this was definitely something I could swing!

 

You can fit four in there lol easily as well. Christ, coming from 2 door honda's and DSM's etc the cobalt might as well be as big as a caddy in the back.

 

So is this just a molded carpet overlay or is there more to it?

 

Four people yes. For drunk people.... **** that!

 

looks awesome man been thinking about doing a rear seat delete lately to shed some weight you think your under 2700lbs yet?

 

He said it weighs 40 lbs so there's more to it then just carpet. And knowing Ryan he ain't gonna have it done half ass.

Doubt it. My car on stock turbo at its lightest was 2820.

 

oh ok damn thought our cars were only 2800-2900lbs stock lol

 

There prolly in the 2900 range. But unless you go stripping the **** out of them your not able to lose to much weight really. I am pretty sure I had less weight then Ryan does and I weighed mine the last time at the track, same as I drive around on and with me in it was 3050.

 

looks great! That turned out really really good.

 

Can you still use the bottom as a shelf?

Like, could my 80 pound shepherd still lay back there?

 

Good question about the GSD

 

Nice man. Looks good as usual!!

 

More to it. The bottom is a fixed piece of material to go straight across.

As chris said, definitely not. With all the added and taken off weight of everything else. I'd guess low 2900s though. 2700s is like crazy low! lol

^this lol

You should be able to yes. the board is light weight but strong, and the carpet helps its strength. Other things yeah, but I'm not 100% sure on if your dog can go back there. Groceries or other things for sure. (as we know our canines like to put their weight all on one part lol)

Thanks Staged! =D

 

i would love to have a kit that will allow the back to fold down and clear the harness bar for when i need to turn the trunk into a pick up truck.
